Title: John McCain Concedes
Post by: sixdogsmom on November 04, 2008, 10:39:08 PM
John McCain has just conceded the race to the whitehouse to Barack Obama. He just completed what I thought was a very good convincing speech to a gathering of McCain supporters in Phoenix, Az.

Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States. God Bless America! Yes we can!  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I thought it was an excellent concession speech.

Wish he had run for President the same way.

His speech made me very proud of him and for him.
Classy. Just plain classy.

It did seem like a good speech but I didn't watch all of it as I was so bummed I had to go to bed. Time to tighten the belts.

I agree, John McCain made a memorable concession speech. I really wish him well. Now he can go back and "raise McCain" in the Senate. I will miss not  seeing Joe Biden around here. I wish you all knew him better. I'm expecting John Carney, another friend to take his seat, but who knows?

I for one hope we can get the common working person back to working full time so they have money to spend and get our economy to going again.  I don't really believe anyne will come to Piedmont Kansas and take my guns from me.  I also hope we can get back to a friendly forum.  If I truly believed the world was going to come to and end or this Country was going straight to hell as some seem to think, I would spend everything I had and have one good time between now and January.

That really doesn't say much.. about .."YES WE CAN".
I mean I hope everyone can have a job too. and there are jobs out there for those who want to work.
But since you are telling me that this is obviously part of the 'yes we can'... then how do you think the new pres. will stimulate the economy and create more jobs for "the common man?"


And my dear..they won't have to come to Piedmont when the gun regulations start .  ;)

Weel Lady I do want to work and for the record I do .  But for sure my hours have been cut back for about seven years.  And yes there are jobs for us that want to work, the problem is they don't pay enough to let you pay the bills and eat.

I'm so glad they won't be coming to Piedmont. 

I think we had no way to go but up with whomever was elected.
